Only the nodes near the hubs work as far as I know

Minecraft World Generation is still hideous compared to what people want out of fantasy landscapes. But in terms of properly scaling biomes and stuff, wouldn't hurt to take some notes from Minecraft world generation to create more usable landscapes for RP. Definitely something we've needed to work on in the past is not going overboard.

Yeah I agree. Vanilla Minecraft generation isn't the greatest but it's very usable for building stuff on. Lots of Almaris requires a whole bunch of terraforming to do much which is why some nation capitals instead created their own land like the massive plateau that Oren built to put Providence on and the island that Elvenesse created for its capital build.

Speaking of going overboard, I think the noise filters or whatever applied onto parts of Almaris are used a bit too much. There are lots of areas where you can find random 1 block holes or single blocks sticking out of the ground all on their own. Compared to previous maps Almaris feels less smooth.

Also I'm not a huge fan of the biome mixing. I prefer having locations all be one biome rather than mixing together a whole bunch of biomes and splattering them all over the place.

Maybe we're just trying to hard to make some uber detailed terrain when in reality most people just want terrain that looks good enough at a distance and is suitable for them to build their settlements on.

stop giving us quilt maps, give us 3 biomes at max and stop catering to every nations 'aesthetic'. force them to adapt.

in my dream map the world would be one massive desert kenshi style.

I remember how everyone said how horrible it was and what a bad map it was when I joined that map

That’s every map Laeonathan. You can only tell how good a map is after it has passed and a new map has come.

Almaris might improve a lot with a war rewrite and Vortex getting canned, so I don’t know if it’ll be remembered for it’s terribly long walk times or interesting wars that’ll come later in the map. Time will tell.
